Amazon.com's (NSDQ:AMZN) double digit growth story continues to stay in trend despite the company's top line increasing in the tens of billions each year. Amazon's annual revenue has grown around the 20% level in the last three years, and during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, Amazon's total revenue has shot up from $71.259 billion last year to $92.246 billion this year, a growth of 29.45%. Top line growth has indeed accelerated despite the fact that the retailer's quarterly revenues are coming in at above the $30 billion mark.
To grow at above 20% when your sales are more than $30 billion per quarter is no mean achievement, and to do that when you are operating in a highly competitive environment is even more difficult. (See also: Does Amazon.com (AMZN) Have Enough Fuel To Drive The Stock Above $1000 A Share?)

While the Hudson's Bay balance sheet is in better shape now, its underlying operations are far from healthy. First, Lord & Taylor's struggles go far beyond the flagship store that closed last month. The chain has experienced steady erosion of its customer base over the past few decades and has been unable to keep up with trendier rivals like Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN).

Some reasons for my bearishness on retail stocks:
Higher Energy Prices. Oil prices have rallied dramatically and back to 2014 levels, rising from about $35 a barrel in early 2016 to around $67 Thursday. That's bad news for U.S. retailers, as rising oil prices historically squeeze consumer disposable incomes. That's one reason why I've been consistently raising my short exposure to retail and plan to continue doing so. Shaky Same-Store Sales Growth. Recent improvements to same-store sales at Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) , Urban Outfitters (URBN) , Dillard's (DDS) , Gap Inc. (GPS) and Macy's (M) come against downgraded expectations, and might not be sustainable anyway. No Deal for Nordstrom (JWN) . The Nordstrom family has apparently abandoned plans to take its namesake company private. I had expressed concerns that this would happen. Higher Interest Rates. A rise in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has recently accelerated. That's bad news for retailers, as many variable-rate consumer debts (particularly mortgages) key off of the LIBOR. This will likely put a damper on mortgage refinancings -- something that many see as an important ingredient for personal-consumption expenditures. - [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]
It's been more than five years since upscale retailer Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) first announced its plans to open a flagship store in Manhattan. While Nordstrom has several full-line stores in the New York metro area, this was to be its first one in New York City proper. Moreover, Nordstrom executives were determined to make it the company's best store -- and indeed, one of the best stores of any kind in the world.

In this segment from MarketFoolery, host Chris Hill and Motley Fool Asset Management's Bill Barker consider the case for healthcare innovator Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG), which has been on a tear for the past few years.
